A Program Truly Made for Developing Leaders
We build on the traditional honor society model by providing colleges the opportunity to recognize their students for achievements beyond their GPA. In addition, the NSHCR is the only accredited leadership honor society providing administrators with leadership development programming to measurably impact student development and engagement. Students also have the opportunity to take their learning with the NSHCR deeper and earn academic credit recommendations with our programs.
95% of our chapters continue with us every year.
